I came across a great pin for a Valentine's Day Scripture Bulletin Board!
This great idea comes from the website mpmschoolsupplies.com
On the website I also came across the "I love you" hand print magnet craft for a Valentine's Day craft / gift that is not too difficult for most children.
Another easy Valentine's Day craft for young children is the "Open the Eyes of My Heart" craft - brought to us by Catholic Icing . Inexpensive and easy to prepare.
Valentine's Day is a good time to remember the senior citizens at your parish by hosting a breakfast/luncheon or just donuts and coffee for them after a Mass close to Valentine's Day. Many times they are alone and appreciate the extra love shown them. What better can we do for St. Valentine's Day than to show our love for others?
Have the children take place mats and decorate them for the event or they can make centerpieces.
An inexpensive and easy centerpiece - Have the children make hearts and glue the on the top of pipe cleaners for flowers. Use red/pink construction paper for the hearts. Cut some leaves from green construction paper and put them on the pipe cleaners too. Now stick the "flowers" (put 2-3 stems) into inverted styrofoam cups. You could even add ribbons on the "vases". The seniors can take them home if they like.
What you need for this project:
styrofoam cups
pipe cleaners (preferably green)
pink, red and green construction paper
scissors
glue
ribbon (optional)
